Sunday 9th August Social Ride

From Dave on the northern ride to Whoopi:
"It's always an interesting adventure when cycling our way through the new Coffs Bypass northern spaghetti junctions. Somehow, we survived & emerged victoriously at the top of Sealy lookout turnoff. Michele entertained us with lots of stories. Don was on hand to help Rob tackle highway damage. Phil led the way & PJ took photos. That just left me to enjoy a fab feast @ coffee. A perfect 55km relaxed ride today with spectacular scenery & great company. Does it get any better?"

From Ian on the not quite so far north ride to Sawtell:
“A reduced bunch of DUBBUGers which somehow included 2 Ian's, one Alex, a Kevin and a Mark plus 2 guests from Geelong, Fiona and Ben, set off from Urunga towards Sawtell Velodrome under cloudy skies. Peter G appeared on the way to boost The numbers. The visitors were happy to learn some new routes and enjoy a first time on the track, although probably weren't expecting the shopping centre detour! Coffee at the Link was pleasant as usual, especially when Lisa and Greg also turned up. We dropped off a few on the way home with a solid run to Urunga, marred only by an errant nail that meant Fiona needed the broom wagon. Good times nevertheless!”

Brave DUBBUG souls trusted their Ride Leader, ED, to safely navigate them through the growing suburb of Bellwood, west of Nambucca Heads and along the waterfront cycleway to coffee & cake on the river.

It was a ride of exploration and we saw other local cycling groups, such as Coffs BUG, doing similar though less adventurous options. Particularly challenging was the "shortcut" over the Nambucca ridge line to join with the cycle path near Nambucca High School.

Giinagay Way is an attractive route for cyclists and our group were pleased to note much of the road shoulders had been tidied, making it a little bit safer for vehicles to go past.

A rainy and windy Sunday. Many early morning messages … who will be brave enough to ride in these conditions 🤔

A solid bunch of six headed out, while others opted for a challenging indoor training ride and some played with AI to illustrate the excitement.

Here’s the ride report from the brave souls who headed out (thanks Peter J)

“Six tough riders for today's Sunday ride. As it was a bit miserable the decision to just do an easy coffee ride to Valla Beach was a popular option. We rode out of the mizzle pretty well straight away and the further we went South the drier it was. We enjoyed a very pleasant coffee at Valla and rode back into a bit of mizzle when we got back. All in all a pleasant ride on a miserable day.”

Smiles all round. Nothing like a Sunday morning on the bike.
